Although she was walking with her friends, Jiang Hongshao would occasionally look back and see Cheng Ran, but she concealed it very well so that no one would notice her inclination. She would just smile at Cheng Ran, and there was a kind of silent telepathy between them in such a night.
Just a smile seems to be able to provide many answers.
For example, if these are all girls and you can’t add them in, there’s nothing I can do.
For example, when you arrive at the station, you should go home early.
Or for example, why are you looking at me from behind
But after a while, Su Hongdou finished buying things and the girls started walking forward again.
People more or less have some special perception of things, the only difference is whether they are dull or sharp. Cheng Ran seemed to sense something, he turned his head and looked behind him.
Over there, Yang Xia, who was also with her friends, stood in the shadows where the street lights could not reach.
His eyes were like obsidian, and they were black and translucent even when he was in darkness.
Cheng Ran didn’t know whether there was a colorful Milky Way above his head.
All we know is that in the two years since he was reborn, he used the identity of "Gargamel" or "Cheng Bin", a mysterious composer, to let Qin Xizhen sing many songs that were sent to thousands of households. He created a cliff-like isolated peak for the current Chinese music scene, allowing those who are interested to stand in a corner and can only look up at the scenery where Qin Xizhen stands.
He also used the cover of "Aquaman" to call the shots in the 519 market, and then there was a mystery that was later called a black hole. Various interpretations of this "king of the stock market" have now linked the identity of this "Aquaman" who accurately predicted the 519 market to some of the big bulls who have created the myth of fighting. Some big bulls even had to come out to clarify due to public opinion. In many stock market quotations in the future, some people hope that this Aquaman will appear again to stir up the wind and cloud, and the jargon commonly formed by people is "When will that person come?" The extremely pious hope leads them to create another wave of wealth.
He also used the name of "singer" to form public opinion on the Internet that surpassed traditional paper media, causing the family of a Hong Kong tycoon to fall and letting the outside world appreciate how this uncontrollable force is like a galloping horse and a raging wave in the era of wild growth of the Internet.
Almost overnight, Tonglang.com received numerous inquiries from big Hong Kong families and enterprises intending to invest in the company and make plans in the Internet sector.
Some new cognitions are being formed and some patterns are changing.
Will the world before our eyes be like the movie called “Jumanji”, where when we throw the dice, the world will change, with beasts running wild, floods or the earth cracking. The key is that every time we throw the dice, the result is not something we can control or predict.
God never plays dice, and I am not God.
But he is an existence that can cause the butterfly effect in time and space. What kind of changes and impacts will his next actions bring
Sometimes when I think about it, I can’t help but feel a little terrified.
Although he told himself from the first day of his rebirth that he would have no regrets and no fear in this life, when he really faced the scour of this world, could he really have a clear conscience every time? Could he have no regrets for every decision and action
This world is different because of his rebirth. He can analyze the big trends through various information, most importantly the memories of his past life, but he cannot predict many details.
For example, in this city at the end of the century, in such a night, Jiang Hongshao was looking at him from the front, and Yang Xia was looking at him from behind.
…
When entering the third year of high school, in addition to the increasingly solemn atmosphere, the tension of the day would finally be relieved after the evening self-study get out of class. Many small Internet cafes grew up in the city. Some were not large in scale, and were even old houses on old streets. With a curtain, seven or eight camera seats, a big-bellied monitor, a white to black mechanical keyboard, and some chairs put together, a "small Internet cafe" could be formed. At that time, there were countless similar small Internet cafes all over the country. Cheng Ran remembered that it was a fire in an Internet cafe in Beijing that led to a large-scale rectification across the country and the further introduction of Internet cafe management laws.
At this time, some students would go into Internet cafes between afternoon school and evening self-study, order a plate of fried rice, and often rush out of the Internet cafe just before class time, running to the school building flooded with incandescent lights.
I don't often play games. Sometimes I just want to take advantage of this time to use the penguin interface to chat with the people online who have made an appointment on the other end. We talk about the experiences in different schools, the ideals that have emerged in this mysterious era, the future directions we aspire to, the friends around us, or carefully ask if there is someone they like.
The CQ virtual community created by Li Mingshi and his team has been launched. Once launched, it almost occupied the pages of Internet cafes. The personal shows of the Avatar Project are still very primitive, and even the pixels that make up the characters can be seen, but it doesn’t matter. This is already attractive enough. People still have a strong desire to satisfy their virtual avatar role-playing on it. The activities of playing games in the virtual community and giving away CQ coins, or CQ coin first-charge discounts, have officially started the circulation of CQ virtual currency, and at the same time have begun to complete the task of directing traffic to the virtual community.
The designs of several games in the virtual community were decided by Cheng Ran himself, and he even joined in the planning. In addition to simple light casual games such as billiards and fruit war, there is a "Spirit Realm" game area, which is equivalent to a web game. After entering the game area, you can customize a virtual character, and then you can engage in activities such as fishing, mining, farming, and even PK.
Of course, it is not as good as the large-scale online role-playing games with clients that appeared in the next few years. Moreover, this game is essentially an aggregation of various casual games. Since Cheng Ran did not have a team capable of developing games, he contacted the Lianzhong team that had experience in casual games and launched a virtual community game, which is different from Lianzhong in this respect.
Lianzhong is a platform for chess and card games, while the CQ virtual community is all about light and casual web game modes, which is the so-called "PK" in the spiritual realm. In fact, it is just virtual characters on the same map throwing props at each other to reduce blood, a simple "national war" mode.
This is the highest standard that Cheng Ran proposed and the current CQ team can achieve. In order to complete some effects, they also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to outsource some programs to foreign game teams.
Once launched, the server reached the load value on the first day and crashed after 14 hours. Li Mingshi and his team optimized the code overnight, made constant adjustments, and connected the backup server to keep up with the pace of this wave.
After a series of hard work, Li Mingshi's team discovered a black hole-like attraction that blossomed in this era.
Those Internet users sitting across from the computers in the Internet cafes seemed to have no ability to resist the temptation of online interaction consisting of simple blocks of color and data.
Everyone was a little excited, as if they had discovered some incredible secret.
In fact, this is true for many things. Often, the door to a blue ocean is hidden in the universal rules. Some people accurately grasp this point, and then many creative ideas are born that seem commonplace in later generations, but were actually groundbreaking and world-changing at the time.
This Spirit Realm web game has caused the Avatar Project, which was grandly launched by CQ senior management, to be neglected, which is a bit of an unintended consequence.
Just imagine that one or two years later, the graphics will be rough and the music will be even simpler. The core of the game is to kill monsters, upgrade and collect equipment, and then players will interact with each other in PK. Once the "Legend" is released, all Internet cafes across the country will be turned into its melting pot of glory. You will know how powerful the appeal of this game mode is.
Although "Spirit Realm" and "Legend" are different at this time, and when "Legend" comes out, it may not be affected by Spirit Realm and will be equally popular. But this does not prevent Spirit Realm from taking advantage of the effect of being one step ahead when this game mode first appears in the form of a web page.
People will spend CQ coins to improve the characters in the Spirit Realm game and buy various props for them to participate in PK.
The sale of CQ coins does have a natural system, which is the Three Kingdoms Killing network that I created with Cheng Qi. The current online financial system does not exist at all, and things like CQ coin cards can only be carried out through physical channels. So the distribution system that Three Kingdoms Killing cultivated at the time, which can be directly connected to newsstands, can be used.
This channel can be used, but such a marching route is still too narrow. If CQ coins are to be spread out, it would be like a hundred thousand troops squeezing on a narrow path. By the time they arrive at the battlefield, the opportunity would be lost.
Therefore, it is necessary to take the initiative to open up new routes. Cheng Ran needs a sales team to go to Internet cafes in various cities and establish a distribution system with them. At the same time, this team must also stay in Internet cafes to conduct user surveys, and be able to reflect the user feedback of CQ in major cities in the shortest possible time, and... to grasp the popular trends in Internet cafes.
In fact, we don't need too many people. One or two people in each city will be enough. By developing Internet cafe owners and network administrators into downlines and selling CQ coin cards, we can get commissions directly. However, this also requires organizing a team of at least a dozen people. Lin Xiaosong was originally planning to take charge of this task, but Cheng Ran had already asked Lin Xiaosong to be responsible for the follow-up of Zhang Yu's project and there was no way to transfer him over, so he asked Zhao Qing for help.
Zhao Qing, who is considered Cheng Ran’s current chief adviser, directly recommended a person from Fulong Company named Chen Yuzhong.
This is the manager of a project that was cancelled by Fulong Company during the IPD transformation process. Fulong's project management is a team that manages the entire process from research and development to production supervision to marketing. Chen Yuzhong is not very good at technology, but his strength is in marketing. Therefore, he did not check the technology of the project he was responsible for, resulting in the entire project being cancelled due to non-compliance with technical indicators. He had to return to the Fulong Training Center to start technical training.
Chen Yuzhong and Zhao Qing had a good relationship, so Zhao Qing knew this person's strengths. Chen Yuzhong was going to hone his skills at this time and give up his expertise in marketing, which made him somewhat disheartened. He wanted to leave Fulun, but he couldn't give up this relationship. Zhao Qing just provided him with a way out: he could stop working for Mr. Cheng and work for Mr. Cheng instead.
Chen Yuzhong immediately resigned to build a marketing and information system for CQ.
When Chen Yuzhong and Cheng Ran met, he still remembered that it was Zhao Qing who introduced them. They arrived at a coffee seat by the window on the third floor of Tianxingdao Hall at 6:30.
Chen Yuzhong had already made sufficient preparations in advance. When Zhao Qing asked him to come over to help, he was just in the mood to give it a try. He didn't have much impression of Cheng Ran, a young master, before. His impression was that the son that Mr. Cheng often talked about had good grades.
But that's all. There are so many so-called "geniuses" with good performance in Fulong, just like flowers and grass on the roadside. If you are not careful, you can hit one of them. Without saying too much, the technical backbones who worked on the No. 8 switch in Fulong initially developed 8 B modules to 16 B modules, 32 B modules, and 128 B modules. The capacity of one B module is 6688 lines, which means that they increased the number of users that a single telecommunications bureau can accommodate from 100,000 to 200,000 and then to 1 million.
At this time, even the most advanced technology in the industry among multinational companies can only accommodate 200,000 users.
The reason why Fulong was able to make a million-port switch and reach the pinnacle of narrowband switch technology was the work of this group of technical backbones, smart people and geniuses. Many of them were provincial and national champions. No matter how good Cheng Ran's grades were, he could only be this good at best. There were many people like him in Fulong.
But when he got the entire CQ situation plan, he realized what else this Mr. Cheng had done behind the cover of his good grades.
This is like another world.
Chen Yuzhong and Cheng Ran chatted for an hour that day, mainly Cheng Ran proposed plans and Chen Yuzhong responded. Chen Yuzhong is an old hand in marketing, but many of the questions Cheng Ran raised had never been thought of before, but he answered after careful consideration based on his rich experience, and Cheng Ran immediately made corrections, as if Cheng Ran had already known all the tricks he had thought about for a long time, and even used them to make his peers wary, and he knew the weaknesses and corrected them at the same time.
An hour later, Cheng Ran stood up and said that he had to go to evening self-study. He had paid for the coffee and they could do whatever they wanted. Chen Yuzhong could start work tomorrow to lead the CQ field construction. The salary and future growth opportunities were very generous. In the future, Chen Yuzhong would have a share in the share issuance.
Chen Yuzhong was speechless for a long time when Cheng Ran left with his schoolbag on his back.
